i had a fun post planned for tonight, but i am absolutely exhausted from a busy day and i have another busy one planned for tomorrow, but i have to share this amazing snack i concocted when i was a hungry hungry hippo scavenging around my very bare kitchen this afternoon.

i mixed together:

~1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

1 tbsp ground flax

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp (homemade!) strawberry/rhubarb jam

1 tbsp sunflower seed butter

1/4 cup courtney’s amazing granola (courtney, i’m rationing it because i’m going to be so sad when it’s gone)

then i poured about 1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk on top to thin it out a bit.

this was a perfect sweet snack and held me over until dinner 2 hours later perfectly!

i’m off to do my push-ups, skype with my love, then hit the pillows – i’m tired!

what’s your go-to snack?

i don’t really have one. a lot of times i’ll have crackers + cheese, veggies + hummus, or carrots/celery + pb, but since i didn’t have any of that today, i had to get creative! 🙂

i did NOT like it at first either! this jar that i’m in LOVE with now sat in my fridge untouched after i first tried it for probably 6+ months until i finished the rest of my nut/seed butters and had to go back to it. i’m hooked now though! 🙂

I feel like most of what I eat would be considered “snacks.” I’m a munch monster all day (and with teaching, that’s usually the only way we can eat)! Yogurt + cereal is just one of my all around favorite things to eat period. A spoonful (or 10) of nut butter also does the trick. 🙂

May not all be ladies…my boyfriend sometimes reads over my shoulder!!
Your snack looks awesome 🙂 I don’t really have a go-to snack- it just depends on what I have available I guess. Usually it involves apples though!
